The EE-Sim Design Center enables users to create complete power-management
designs online just by entering a few design requirements, such as voltage,
output current, and switching frequency. Based on these requirements,
EE-Sim generates an interactive schematic complete with components that can
be changed on the fly. Transim's WebSIM technology allows instant
verification of the proposed design using powerful remote-simulation
capabilities. Multiple design iterations can be analyzed in minutes without
the hassles of software installation and without a learning curve. The
resulting waveforms, such as Bode plots and voltage graphs, are available
for analysis in the included interactive waveform viewer. The design
requirements, schematic, results, and bill of materials (BOM) can be
printed and/or saved in the user's private design space for future use.
Additionally, EE-Sim is available as a free, downloadable simulation tool.

"EE-Sim is a testimony to our ongoing commitment to providing customers
with superior design support," stated Mansour Izadinia, Maxim's Vice
President, System and Power Management Business Unit. "Working closely with
Transim's web design experts, Maxim designed EE-Sim to provide an easily
accessible, user-friendly, and fast engineering solution," continued Mr.
Izadinia.

"Maxim has a strong reputation for delivering innovative analog and
mixed-signal engineering solutions," observed Mrs. Birgit Knorr, Transim's
President and CEO. "We were excited to be working closely with Maxim in
creating a real value add [EE-Sim] for their customers."
